Gallagher 'doubts bandmate's commitment'

Noel Gallagher has suggested that one of his Oasis bandmates is not committed enough to rehearsals for the UK leg of their ongoing world tour.

The songwriter wrote in his blog that he was hoping to add some new songs to the group's usually unchanging setlist for the summer concerts.

Gallagher said: "We are rehearsing different songs for the setlist at the UK gigs. I won't tell you which ones in case they don't work out.

"Should be at least 2-3 though. Hopefully 4-5. But probably only 1! Such is the level of commitment to these kind of things in certain quarters. We shall see."

Earlier this month, Gallagher described his brother Liam as "rude, arrogant, intimidating and lazy", while the singer has in turn admitted that their relationship is "not good".
